Chickenpox in pregnancy poses risks like pneumonia and fetal harm. Early infection can cause severe fetal malformations, while late infection risks neonatal complications.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Fetal Medicine

Context:

  • Chickenpox (varicella) during pregnancy is rare but carries significant risks.
  • Maternal varicella can lead to varicella pneumonia, respiratory distress, and mortality.
  • Transplacental transmission can result in fetal contamination.

Purpose:

  • To outline the risks of maternal chickenpox infection during pregnancy.
  • To describe fetal outcomes based on the timing of maternal infection.
  • To review diagnostic and management strategies for fetal varicella.

Summary:

  • Maternal chickenpox can cause pneumonia and respiratory distress, with mortality nearing 20%.
  • Early pregnancy infection (before 5 months) risks severe fetal malformations (less than 5% of cases).

  • Late pregnancy or peripartum infection can lead to severe neonatal varicella with up to 20% mortality.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of antenatal screening and diagnosis for fetal varicella.
    • Informs clinical decision-making regarding management and potential interventions like induced abortion.
    • Emphasizes the lower risk associated with zona (shingles) during pregnancy compared to varicella.
